As I get older I notice my upper lip hair more and can’t stand it! What do you all do with that? I have never waxed or shaved it.

For now I use depilatory cream as there’s not much. If/when it gets worse I will have laser or electrolysis.

Before I got sick I was having dermaplaning done when I got a facial. Now my doctor doesn't want me getting facials because no immune system  I miss my facials so much. But to answer your question, nothing, I've done nothing. BUT I'm also on lockdown in my house so no one is seeing me. If my moustache starts to show up on Zoom then I may be addressing it  |

That’s what I use for unwanted facial hair. I finally put one in my car bc that’s usually where I see everything I missed. 😜 |

That's what I use too and LOVE it. I use it for the back of my neck too since I have extremely short hair. I don't like the back of my neck to look "icky" between cuts.  |

Oh and here is a much cheaper one than the one linked above. It looks like Beth Bath and Beyond may even have it for $15 instead of $19. I paid $20 for mine a year or so ago at Walgreens. tinyurl.com/yc4xjuzp |

I couldn’t check anything because I’ve left it alone my entire life. It’s not dark and it hasn’t changed since becoming menopausal or postmenopausal.

I had it lasered. Time for a refresher.

I get it waxed or threaded. Threading keeps even the tiny fuzzy hair of for few more days for me than waxing.
Now, if I can find a solution to permanently get rid of that one goddamn hair sticking out of my chin every two days, that would be great. Single damn thing at the same spot for years now…uggg

I got this at Tjmaxx and use it when I am too lazy to make an appointment for waxing or threading. These work great. I have the eye brow one too in this that I use in between |

It's funny isn't it when there are variations like that because they are essentially doing exactly the same thing - removing the hair by the root. I suspect pet waxing breaks some hairs hence it feels as though they return quicker. |

I have annoying chin hair. I use a flawless shaver on my upper lip and chin every day. It is easy and fast, but it does seem to be coming back by evening which is annoying. I don’t know if people can see it but I can feel it.

If I was smart, I would have lasered it when I was younger. Now a lot of those hairs are going gray and laser won’t kill them. I pluck. Occasionally I used my very old Braun to pull them out since it will get all of the air much faster. Menopause is a bitch.

I get it waxed occasionally, otherwise I pluck ones I can get, and shave with one of those 'facial hair' shaver things.
and those chin hairs, too. They seem to spring full-grown into existence- there isn't one, and then all the sudden there's a thick, heavy, black hair that's 3/4 inch long, I swear.

So much this! I have one on the side of my face too that’s hard to see and even harder to tweeze. Drives.Me.INSANE! I can feel them way before anyone can see them but just knowing they’re there makes me go nuts to get them OUT. Most of mine are fine and blonde so I don’t bother with those unless they look extra long, are stiff and poky or are dark. Those ones I tweeze as needed, and post menopause I’m finding I need to check for the obnoxious hairs daily. I also have one extra thick, extra long gray grandpa eyebrow hair that keeps coming back. When I can feel that sucker mixed in with the normal soft eyebrow hairs, it makes me crazy until I can get it plucked. And jenjie what is it about being in the car that makes all of those annoying facial hairs so much more noticeable? It’s so true! I really need to buy a better quality tweezer for my purse because 90% of the time that’s where I see the ones I obviously missed when I was actively looking for them in the bathroom mirror!  |

I think I have arthritis in my thumb. It’s weak so I can’t grasp tweezers well enough.

Occasionally I used my very old Braun to pull them out since it will get all of the air much faster. Menopause is a bitch. I lasered about 7 years ago. I did 8 sessions. For a while it was great, but I’m now getting more strays. Nothing like before. I had a full on man mustache my whole life. I used to wax before I lasered. I used that little microwave pot for face hair (Gigi brand). Now, I just teeeze the randoms. |

I use a depilatory cream or I shave. I did have it waxed a couple of times, but I prefer the cream. I have dark hair, so it is a constant battle.

This isn't the exact one but I use something like this: razorIt was actually a recommendation of someone on here. It works great. I have always had longish hair on my upper lip. I'm blonde and for some reason we tend to be hairy. I also have peach fuzz growing along the side of my face- sideburn area and down. I shave that, too. I have three whiskers on my chin. I pluck those. I never understood bleaching. My facial hair is very blonde and it still looks weird to me to have a mustache. |

Mine is dark and has been present my whole life, along with some nice dark chin hairs too. My mom never really let me do much about it as a kid even though I was teased mercilessly. I've been using Veet at home wax strips for about ten years now. They work great and aren't super expensive. Over time the regrowth slows down. I used to have to do it twice a week and now I do it once every two weeks.
